SA domain name issue up for comment
September 2005
The .za Domain Name Authority (.zaDNA) today launched a public
consultative process around the South African country code top level
domain name (.za).
Making the announcement at a press conference in Johannesburg
yesterday, .zaDNA chairman Dr Hasmukh Gajjar said the process, which
falls under the auspices of the Electronic Communications and
Transactions Act 25 of 2002, is ready for public engagement.
This is the first step in the process to finalise the za model, as .zaDNA
seeks to implement an optimal structure for the za domain name space,
taking into account the specific needs of the country.
Gajjar said the authority would also embark on an educational drive to
close a knowledge gap that exists not only in regard to access to
technology, but also in respect of knowledge about technology.
The challenge is to close this gap, as we would like to have
meaningful discussions with our stakeholders, Gajjar said.
